Question for those with the Hanma double row. Maybe momo can answer this.
Can the two mounting brackets on the double row be removed and flipped over so that the mounting tabs point inwards instead of out? that would shave a couple inches off the overall length.
Would it be possible to create your own brackets maybe? I cant tell how the bracket is attached to the light bar.

yes, the mount brackets can be flipped around with the feet turned in. Even then the 40" DR would be too long. If somebody had access to a plasma cutter they could easily cut some brackets that could mount in the side rails then have a little zig zag bend to them to hold the light itself. They could also be made to bring the light a little more forward

If you do flip the brackets to save space, you lose the ability to lock in teeth between the light and the bracket. Not sure how good the hold will be then.

I like that. What does it look like from inside the vehicle at night? any glare on the hood?
But there is something that doesn’t right look right in the last pic of the “sun”; it looks like it is aim up to high and could be angled down a couple more degrees. The low beams top out at 3’; highs are around 6’; the middle of the “sun” look like it is 12’ in the air.

No glare on the hood, because the the angle of the roof does not allow the beam to even shine on the hood. Make sure you keep your sunroof shade closed though ;)

You are totally right, I just have not had a chance to adjust it to the proper height yet. The fact that it is twice as high as the headlights will cause the two beams to 'triangulate' at some distance in front of the car, so I need to find some time to play around with it until I find an angle that I like.

In reality, you are only giving up 24 total watts, or 1W per bulb, by going with the single row bar.

Actually the 40" DRs that I've seen are 240W and have about 80 3W CREEs. The single row bar for every size is half the wattage of its double row counterpart. My old 30" bar was 180W and my current SR (like yours) is 90W.

Whoops, my mistake. I picked that up somewhere, maybe I got crossed up with different brands. I will edit the previous comment.

I'll try this weekend, but no guarantees...I'm usually out at the bars before dark, which makes it tough to get any pictures of the 4R at night

Awesome, once you get it re angled, can you update the pictures please. I'm wondering how far you can tilt it down before the roof line acts as a cut off.

Pretty slick. Is that the spot beam pattern? Does it light up the road at all since it's placed so far back on the roof?
